No indicator (?) in input screen

I don't know how to describe this, but basically my input screen is missing that little flashing | at the end of the line to indicate that you should be writing lol

How do I get that? It has never appeared, not even in the original game file to my knowledge...

The thingy is called a 'caret'. I do get a none-blinking caret as default. Don't know why you don't.

But you can use an image for caret, even an animated image.

So you could do this.

Code: Select all

image blink:
    "caret1.png"
    0.2
    "caret2.png"
    0.2
    repeat

And use that for your input like this.

Code: Select all

screen myinput():
    input caret "blink"
